So, I told you before I was an art student, right? I'm currently coursing the Fine Arts degree equivalent in Venezuela.
The funny part is, all the dictated content during this course evolves around extremely modern art, unfairly excluding all the "traditional" forms of art.
A sculpture, a drawing or a painting are hardly well received as a final project, just because for them they are "too traditional" and "art has evolved". So now you can imagine how uncomfortable it is for me this situation being a painter myself.
The good part of this (YES, a really good one) is that there's something like an implicit law in the artistic world:
"If you don't get out of your comfort zone you will not grow."
And that's basically what this post is about. I will show you guys some of the artworks I've made (nearly against my will) to please mercyless modern-art teachers.
Here's the first one!
I was asked to make a practice about collage. So I got my best willingness to make something awesome, I sat by my desk and... nothing
In my defense, making a collage is even more difficult than it seems, okay?
After two cups of guava juice and wiping some teardrops from my desk, I got an idea. AND VOILÁ.
I ripped pages from old magazines, cut rectangles out of a yellow piece of paper and drew a few cute paper planes. All put together got me a hardly decent score, BUT I liked the result and that's the important thing :)
I think it well fits my personality. Before knowing the final score my teacher had given to it, a few classmates congratulated my effort saying that they really liked it. That was all that mattered to me.
